Children share many daily moments with adults, where they talk about current affairs, including politics and economics, and this is not bad because we are not going to take them away from reality; and because by making them participants, and showing our opinions, we encourage them to acquire critical thinking.
So it is not surprising that from the age of eight can express their opinion very clearly (and his own language). I say this because the news that motivates this entry, has caused many comments, doubting the ability of its protagonist for the analysis he has made, and even judging the mistakes in the text of a child who is only nine years old. 
It turns out that Iker is a fourth grade Primary student at a school in Alicante, He is a bright and very curious student; He also likes to talk with his parents about current affairs. During a language test, he had to invent a story starring beings from another Planet, and the result was what you read in the second image.
'One day aliens arrived on Earth to leave Earth worse than it was. The aliens abducted all politicians and important people, such as those of the PP or the PSOE: Rajoy, Blesa, Bárcenas, Zapatero, Ana Botella, Urdangarín, etc. People were very happy and the aliens did not understand it, and people said: out of the crisis. In the end the aliens were thrown into space because politicians stole their fuel and left with another rocket. '
I know it is not written "abducted", but the teacher will have corrected it, we will not waste time on this issue. What is surprising about this news is Iker's ability to express his opinion on these current issues. By the way, he got a very good grade.
I guess you can initially doubt that the children can describe the environment they perceive, this will be if you have babies, or no children are near (nephews, grandchildren, children, students); on the contrary, any of us will know similar stories, which go from being a funny occurrence, to describe perfectly situations (unfortunately) common in our country.
My son is neither more nor less than others of his age, and just about two weeks ago he also starred in a scene in which he expressed a particular (and partial, of course) view of politics. He was building a car track with his little cousin, and when he got tired of doing it, and the other one asked for explanations, he replied, "It is that the mayor spent the money on a dinner and the road budget is over," and he stayed so width. It was fun to hear, of course, what is not funny is political corruption, but there it is and they also realize it.
